Not particularly relevant to CAD applications, fogging is a technique by which objects can be reduced in colour intensity so that they appear to be buried in a distant mist or fog This technique can aid the impression of distance, and can be used as a performance-saving feature in some games, with fogging eliminating the need for distant objects to be drawn It's something of a double-edged sword, since fogging can require lots of processing power It is generally used to create atmospheric effects
A deposit of contamination left on the inside surface of a sealed insulating glass unit due to extremes of temperatures or failed seals
Applying a pesticide by rapidly heating the liquid chemical so that it forms very fine droplets that resemble smoke or fog Used to destroy mosquitoes, black flies, and similar pests
The ability for a videocard to correctly simulate fog in an environment, and to render objects that enter that fog correctly This creates a simulation of distance and atmosphere--the farther the object or terrain is, the higher likelihood it will be enveloped in fog
Allowing sensitive film to receive generalised non-image-forming light Has a darkening effect on negatives, gives a pale, washed out result on slides Can also be caused chemically
Darkening or discoloring of a negative or print or lightening or discoloring of a slide caused by exposure to nonimage-forming light to which the photographic material is sensitive, too much handling in air during development, over-development, outdated film or paper, or storage of film or paper in a hot, humid place
A deposit or film left on an interior surface of a sealed insulating glass unit due to extreme conditions or failed seals Fenestration: Originally, an architectural term for the arrangement of windows, doors, and other glazed areas in a wall Has evolved to become a standard industry term for windows, doors, skylights, and other glazed building openings From the Latin word, "fenestra", meaning window Finger-Joint: A toothed joint used to combine two pieces of wood, end to end Fixed lite: Non-venting or non-operable window Flashing: A thin strip of metal or other material that diverts water away from a window, door, or skylight Float glass: Glass produced by a process in which the ribbon is floated across a bath of molten tin The vast majority of flat glass is now produced using this method The terms "plate" glass and "sheet" glass refer to older manufacturing methods still in limited use
A deposit of contamination left on the inside surface of the sealed insulating glass unit due to extremes of temperatures Usually happens with failed SIG
The blending of a color, often light grey, with parts of an image such that the farther objects become increasingly obscured (See Atmosphere effects ) In other words, the contrast between the fog color and objects in the image gets lower the deeper an object appears in the scene Fogging may be used to provide a back-clipping plane where objects too distant to be seen clearly are removed to speed up the rendering of a scene
